UX and UI design agency

People need to understand what to do, what has happened and how to recover when something goes wrong. Interface design should account for those moments as carefully as the main screen.

Design website journeys that make sense to the people using them

An empty result, an invalid form entry or a slow response is part of the experience. Resolving these states during design reduces uncertainty for the people using and building the interface.

What a UX and UI brief should cover

Connect the tasks people need to complete with the screens, content and feedback that support them.

  • Understand the user's task

    Map the important journeys and the information needed at each step. Research and existing usage evidence can help test assumptions.

  • Consistent interface patterns

    Reusable components can help related controls behave predictably.

  • States beyond the ideal example

    Consider loading, empty results, validation and permissions, including how the interface explains a problem and helps someone continue.

  • Accessible design decisions

    Contrast, control size and visible focus need attention in design. The implemented interface still requires evaluation.

  • Responsive behaviour

    Specify how content and controls adapt across screen sizes, allowing for real text, zoom and different input methods.

  • Testing with relevant users

    Choose research methods and participant numbers to suit the questions and risk. . No fixed sample finds every important issue.

Give development a design it can interpret

Unspecified behaviour leaves decisions to be made during the build. A design handover should explain important interactions and how they respond to realistic content or unexpected situations.

The level of detail should match the project. . Useful documentation makes decisions easier to discuss and test.

Questions about UX and UI design

  • What is the difference between UX and UI here?

    UX considers the overall experience of completing a task. UI focuses on the interface through which someone does it. They overlap, and the right scope depends on the problem being addressed.

  • Do you build what you design?

    Usually, and it makes for a better handover. We are equally happy to hand a design system to your developers, which is why everything is built as components rather than flat screens.

  • Do we need user testing?

    Testing can help uncover problems that a project team has overlooked. Choose the approach around the importance of the journey and the uncertainty to resolve, rather than relying on a universal participant count.

  • Can you work with our existing design system?

    . Review the available components and identify gaps before deciding whether additions are needed.

  • What do we get at the end?

    A Figma file with components, states and specs, plus whatever written decisions the build needs. Yours, in your workspace.
